[Chester LUG] Building a soundproof cupboard - Anyone done it ?

[Marcus Jones]

Hi Stuart,

You could try and get hold of an old line printer sound proof cabinet. These
were used to house impact printers, and also had pretty decent cooling as
standard.

Some of the larger Epson and Tally line printers still use this type of
cabinet, but as impact printing becomes obsolete, the cabinets may well be
available cheaply.

If you're on an unlimited budget, you could try:

Cheers,

Marcus
